Frequently asked questions
How do I go from TTC to HT?
Divide by 1.2 for 20%: 120 € TTC is 100 € HT and 20 € of VAT. For 5.5% divide by 1.055: 105.50 € is 100 € plus 5.50 €.
What is taxed at 10%?
Restaurant meals and take-away food for immediate consumption, passenger transport, hotels and campsites, and renovation work in homes more than two years old.
Why is VAT not 20% of the TTC price?
Because 20% is applied to the HT amount. In a TTC price the VAT share is 20/120, one sixth or about 16.67%, and at 5.5% it is about 5.21%.
